About The Book
A story about a young boy that is forced to live with his grandparents on the Oregon coast after his own parents are lost at sea in a tragic boating accident. As the boy grows, he learns the secrets of wisdom, love, redemption and compassion from his grandparents, especially his grandfather who has a propensity to quote everyone from Plato to Jerry Garcia. He is also trained by his grandfather to become a master furniture craftsman. He is taught to build cedar rocking chairs that possess the power to heal. His grandfather informs him that the secret is in mixing the proper ratios of water and sand, along with glue. The combination causes the joints of the rocking chairs to glisten while coalescing with the incense cedar from which they are built.
